Wednesday, August 6“K” was fascinated by my electric toothbrush and stood in the doorway of the bathroom ~ not sure what to think of the sound. Photos by her mom, Judi.

Thursday, August 7 When we heard that two of our church teams were playing each other, we decided that it would be a good night to watch a game or two. Our grandson Nate plays on the Red team. I like this picture. 🙂 I don’t know this little guy’s name, but enjoyed watching him […]

We looked forward to the arrival of our niece Judi, her husband, Reuben, and daughter, “K” (from Wisconsin), and loved having them stay with us as they awaited the birth of a child they planned to adopt.
